Despite some tension over the past week due to two major offer sheets, the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues have pulled off a surprising trade.
Today, it was officially announced that the St. Louis Blues signed RFAs Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg, seven days after both players were tendered offer sheets that the Edmonton Oilers chose not to match.
However, that didn't stop the two teams from doing more business together. Following the offer sheet announcements, the Oilers and Blues agreed to a surprising trade.
In a separate transaction, St. Louis is sending its 2028 third-round draft pick and unsigned 2023 fifth-round draft selection Paul Fischer to Edmonton for future considerations.
The trade centers around 2023 fifth-round pick Paul Fischer, who will head to the Edmonton Oilers for future considerations. This comes shortly after the Oilers received St. Louis' second- and third-round picks in the 2025 NHL Draft. It's unclear what the Blues will get in return for Fischer, a 19-year-old defenseman who just finished a 16-point season at Notre Dame.
Both teams believe they've come out ahead in this unexpected situation, which has captivated the hockey world over the past week. As they head into the 2024-25 season, there are some intriguing new storylines to watch.
